If she were a man, I'd say either 2 thirty year old girls or 3 twenty year old girls!

Oh what the heck, she Might like it!

Good Luck with your decision!

That sounds more like what you'd like when YOU turn 60 Dave

My Ride: '04 530d Executive, all options except sunroof and comfort seats ECU remapped by ZipTuning to 260+bhp.

I took my mom on a trip to New York last year when she turned 60.
We went to the US a couple of years ago, but never got around to New York, which she really wanted to see.

So i wanted to do it properly and i booked a room at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhatten. Booked a limo for the trip to and from the airport (via nyclimousine.com) and got some Broadway tickets to see the Lion King front row.
She went mental when she heard about it and i don't think anything could've topped that trip.
At that time, the euro/dollar ratio was really good (1.60$ for 1 euro), so it wasn't that expensive for me and i got to pick up a couple of things for myself (like a new Macbook Air, which at that time was the same price in dollars as it was in euro's).

Believe me, she will be forever grateful!

still havent heard back about the price range. you should by her an E60 for her 60th, as it seems appropriate. you wont have to buy her another car till she is 92 then.
